The fish removal at Canvey Lake is underway ahead of the planned dredging work.

Our specialist contractors are safe capturing using a technique known as electrofishing, allowing them to be gently netted and transferred to holding tanks or keep nets for recovery.

The method is designed to minimise stress and protect fish welfare. They will then be rehomed in a suitable environment.

Sales Geek’s Anna Watson is bringing sales training and networking together for one morning of straight-talking, practical help for local businesses. This isn't generic sales theory.

The first half is a working session on the real sales issues you're facing right now - and finding actual solutions, not just tips. The second half is proper networking: meeting other Castle Point businesses, swapping contacts, and building relationships that go somewhere.

It’s called Feel Good Networking & Sales because we’re in the Feelgood Room — named after Canvey Island’s own pub-rock legends, Dr Feelgood. Feels about right for a Monday morning session that will help to build your business!
